Introduction & Specs

Introduction

In-Win has been in the enclosure business for many years now, but it has only been a couple since they first from OEM to retail products. Since our first In-Win review back in 2004 they have expanded their enthusiast line-up, today we have a close look at a small size “cute” case, aimed at the Madshrimps (c) market.

The Allure design team gave the case a definte female touch, the classic white with flower pattern and small decorative stones on the side panels. The case is shipped in a compact box which matches the case design:

Madshrimps (c)


The case is wrapped in a protective foam bag to prevent damage to the side panels, it’s best to keep that foam bag around when you are installing the system, as it’s a good protection layer.

Specifications

This case is for micro-ATX motherboards, don’t expect to build a high end system in here, it’s meant for low-midrange systems as its diminutive size prevents large cooling fans to be installed. There’s still room inside for up to 4 hard drives and 2 optical drives though.

I wonder if women really want flowers on their case.

No, even some of the male gender like those, me for example. Makes me think of Japanese flower art

my girlfriend really diggs the case, first PC related object that can stay in the living room and she actually visually likes.

Her girlfriends like it too, none of them are PC minded
